The answer

You must repent to Allah Almighty for the grave sins you have committed, such as abandoning prayer, sodomy, and adultery. Allah's mercy is vast, and His forgiveness is not overwhelmed by any sin, as He says: {Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."} You should strive for good in the future, increase in righteous deeds, avoid temptations, and associate with good people. You must make up for the prayers you missed. As for the daughter born from adultery, you bear no responsibility towards her; rather, she is attributed to her mother.
